A ROMANCE

This is an epoch marking novel by an author “who
is dramatic as is no other now writing.”—­Oakland
Enquirer.

In this startling and original romance, the author
turns aside from the track of his contemporaries and
reverts to models drawn from races which have bolder
and less conventional views of literature than the
Anglo-Saxon race. Following the lead of the Great
Russian Dostoievsky, he proceeds boldly to lay bare
the secret passions, the unacknowledged motives and
impulses, which lurk below the placid-seeming surface
of ordinary human nature.

It has been reviewed favorably by all of America’s
principal newspapers, as the following extracts from
press notices will indicate:

BOSTON TRANSCRIPT: “His mastery of language,
his knowledge of human impulses, his interpretation
of the forces of nature and of the power of inanimate
objects over human beings, all pronounce him a writer
of no mean rank.... He can express philosophy
in terms of narrative without prostituting his art;
he can suggest an answer without drawing a moral;
with a clearer vision he could stand among the masters
in literary achievement.”
